Alishan Yapoujian, the Boulder man police believe may have perpetrated a dozen recent robberies in the city and county, on Tuesday was charged with 10 felonies in connection to his alleged crime spree.

Yapoujian, 25, was arrested on New Year's Eve after the Colorado State Patrol tracked down a Black Chevy Blazer believed to have been the getaway car in two armed robberies that occurred on Dec. 29, officials say. The man believed to be the driver in those crimes provided investigators with information about Yapoujian, according to Boulder police.

Police on Dec. 31 executed a search warrant of Yapoujian's home in the 6300 block of Arapahoe Avenue and arrested him.

While he was originally arrested on suspicion of a single robbery-- at the Conoco gas station located at 4742 Table Mesa Drive on Dec. 29--police at the time said that he was believed to be involved in nine additional robberies in Boulder and two in Boulder County.

He was formally charged Tuesday with 10 counts of aggravated robbery, with representation of a deadly weapon. Each charge is a Class 3 felony carrying a penalty ranging from 2 to 32 years in prison in the event of conviction.

Yapoujian is next scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. Jan. 30 at the Boulder County Justice Center for a preliminary hearing. He is being held at the Boulder County Jail on $300,000 bond.
